|
Wear and scratch resistance
|
It can effectively protect the surface of printed matter and extend the service life
|
|
Environmental protection
|
No volatile solvent, no harmful substances emitted during the curing process

| Shelf‑life |
12 months under unopened & standard storage condition |
| Opened‑can usage suggestion |
Finish within 3‑4 months after opening; sedimentation may occur if stored too long. |
Important Reminder: If ink appears thickening, gelling or obvious sediment before expiration date, it indicates improper storage and should stop using.
4. FAQ Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is MOQ? A: Minimum order quantity is 1 kg for sample testing. Bulk order starts from 25 kg. Small‑batch sample is available for customer press test.
Q2: What is delivery lead‑time? A: Stock items: ship within 2‑3 working days after receiving payment. Custom formula / OEM private‑label goods: 12‑15 working days.
Q3: What customization can you provide? A: Support custom release‑effect grade, custom hardness / scratch‑resistance performance, OEM private‑label sticker & custom carton packaging. We can adjust formula for special antif-orgeryprinting requirement.
Q4: Logistics & shipping options for UV ink? A: Ink belongs to chemical liquid goods. Express: FedEx is primary option for international shipment (transit time 3‑4 working days). Sea‑freight / air‑freight for large bulk order. Payment terms: T/T.
Q5: Why cured vanish surface still sticky? A: Check these points: UV lamp power & aging status; printing speed too fast; insufficient curing energy; ink film too thick. Increase UV energy or reduce press speed accordingly.
Q6: Bad adhesion on plastic film? A: Confirm substrate surface tension ≥38 dyne/cm. Plastic films need corona‑treatment before printing; add matching primer if necessary.
Q7: Can I mix this ink with other brand UV ink? A: Not recommended. Different resin systems may cause gelling, sediment or unstable curing. Test small sample first if mixing is unavoidable.
